The Domestics — a Portland-based rock band that's clearly been following politics — recently came under fire for shipping mysterious tapes titled "Trump/Comey Recordings" to people in the music industry.

According to a Facebook post from Stephen Judge, whose friend received one of the cassettes, the tapes had return addresses listed as the KKK and Westboro Baptist Church.

"In addition, each of the people who he knows who have received this cassette, all have one thing in common," he wrote. "They are all jewish."
